Third Hate Message Received by SUNY Potsdam Prof | WWNY TV 7

How are the messages delivered ? What do they say ? Didn't the professor want to stay out of the news ?
Without more information, it's impossible to put this story in perspective, other than to say I strongly disagree with invoking personal traits or ethnicity as a rationale for ridicule or criticism.
From reading this, I wonder if students are as much at risk as is implied.
The media needs to explore all of this more, before presenting in this way. Catnip is not always good journalism, as we saw in spades this year.Third Hate Message Received by SUNY Potsdam Prof | WWNY TV 7 - News, Weather and Sports for | Local News

The pen is mightier than the sword?

I'm thankful that I attended school and college before all this touchy freely, words hurt me crap really got going.

Read today that the intellectuals in the big county want to start a Native American college. Amusing that a Potsdam student thinks it should be staffed entirely with Native Americans. What happened to the diversity?

Just reading about it makes me need counseling. Is there any chance I can get some financial compensation for my stress? I feel violated. I feel unsafe. But a few taxpayer dollars would alleviate my suffering.

Oh for chrissakes let it be..when I was a kid,we had a teacher named mr woodcock,how many stupid notes and blackboard messages he must have gotten? But he was an adult and teached through the sniggers and was really a good teacher,some things you just have to ignore and let them die on the vine.

I hate the people that hate hate messages. So what if there have been several campus shootings and mass killings. This is America people, get over it. Unless of course it has something to do with this dreadful war on Christmas; then it’s perfectly acceptable to be politically incorrectly correct.

Our extended family refuses to squander our hard earned savings sending our children to a school that seems to now have deferred its principle focus on academic excellence or signature programming that leads to employment

We will look elsewhere ,simply too much controversy , turmoil and strife .
